Whats Common Between A Data Center and Poultry Farm

Its been a while i had been thinking about this.Being a village guy and engaged in setting up  Data Center’s – iam able to find some striking similarities between best of both worlds.

  1. Both of the businesses are directly proportional to the Real Estate – The more the data / chicken’s you want to host the more you need the real estate space.While chickens need 0.9 Sq.ft per bird , data is measured in the number of servers you can squeeze in a 1U ( 1.75 Inch ) space of a rack..!
  2. Thermodynamics – Its all about protecting the inmates with right environmental conditions. Datacenters need 21-23c of temprature and 45-55% RH of Humidity , while the environmental conitions in a poultry farm needs to be warmer by 33-38c and air needs to be dry with lower RH of Humidity.
  3. Power Factor – Both of them consumes electricity a lot , data center emits power as heat energy and poultry inhales heat generated from light bulbs. The cost factor of power in both the businesss is about 30%
  4. Dependency on External Feed’s -  Data Centers are purely dependent on the ISP connectivity ans so are the Chickens for thier feed manufaturer’s. Crticality of situations araise when there is a “Downtime” for the external feeds..!
  5. Fatter you Grow , Fatter the Money – While chickens weigh more and data grows bigger , the bigger the revenue we get..!

Acquiring Digital SLR - 13 Yrs of Dream...!

It has been long since i quit my Pentax K1000 and Vivitar Series 1 - 70mm to 210 mm Zoom.

To be exact , it gave me a exhilarating pleasure in being associated with photography as my hobby. I had invested close to about 50K way back in 1992 to be an Amatuer Photographer. It took me a lot of effort ( Yes..I had to steal a Phtography book in my final year college from our library..) and time to learn it and perfect it.

I made quite a lot of money at my college being known as an " Offcical Photographer" of the college. People knew me as a 'Big Lens' guy.

After my MBA i had no been able to continue my passion and was muddling ever since to acquire a DSLR.

Today i bought a Nikon D40 - a Great Camera for Professional Beginners..!

B2B - Via B - Part 2

True to my Born Creativity ( !!), i was hitting the Cinema Theaters at least twice a day and when ever my mom wants to find me she asks some to go and look for me in the theater of new releases..! I was so popular in our town cinema theater workers circle that i will get all eatables for free and still manage to view new cinemas for free - all that because i was Doctor's Son.

Its when they decided to "Move" me to Coimbatore and put me in a Residential School.

Perks Matriculation School - It was a world open for me..!

Like any other residential school boys , i too had learned many things and decided on few.

Here is the List..

1. I will Not be a Medico
2. I will go to a Arts College
3. I will Love Computers - as and when it was introduced to me in 1986
4. I will Love and Marry "This ..." Girl....!

Surpraisingly , i accomplished all.!

From Bhavani to Bangalore - Via Bombay..!!

As i was seriously frustrated with my previous job @ Ingram Micro , i thought i should always stick to core technology - and not Box Selling..!

My Strength was was purely translating technology.

So let me just tell you who,what and where iam from

I was born in a small town in Tamilnadu - Komarapalayam - Now in Namakakkal District.

Born for Doctor Parents - Not with a Silver spoon , but lets say a Bronze one..!
Yeah they are Government Doctors.. !

Excellent Childhood..i would really call it Excellent,since i was a village guy ..Playing with Toads and "Pachondhi's" and "Odakkan's"

But it all lasted till i was 12 yrs.
